The Replacements | I Will Dare | In-Depth Guitar Lesson

[@tubbythug92]

I love this album to death, Replacements are so overlooked. :(

[@ckallaher]

Oh, this is awesome. What guitar is that? Must have one! And what about the mandolin solo? It’s the icing on the cake.

[@sebastianclaudiobenaventes1567]

Please, I'd like to know what kind of guitar is the one used to play the rythm part. Thanks in advance, and eternal thanks to Adrian!!!

[@lamper2]

In honor of SYLVAIN SYLVAIN(R.I.P.) I request TEENAGE NEWS

[@acpg]

Yes, really sad news. One of the greats.

[@hampusheh]

FUUUUCK YEEEEES! The Replacements are so underserved on guitar youtube! It's criminal.

[@phillipphinney206]

Well done Adrian. The Mats are often overlooked as is Paul Westerberg. The bio "Trouble Boys" is a good in depth history of the band and the sad life of guitarist Bob Stinson. Their performance on SNL in 1986 got them banned and was absolutely mental. Good fun though.

[@cseymour001]

This is so surreal to see one of the best guitar oriented channels on KZbin showing me how to play one of my favorite bands songs. Please please please do some more Replacements tracks. Whatever ones you love!

[@kennique7634]

I will dare... you to do a lesson on their song “swinging party”

[@acpg]

haha, yes quite possibly I'll do it...

[@D1TemplarKnight]

@@acpg please, would love to see you play 'Talent Show'.

[@itdies2dayyo]

Westerberg is such an underrated guitarist and songwriter. He always had such beautiful nuance to his guitar parts.

[@kennique7634]

Not only is Mr.Adrian a damn good guitar teacher, also a pretty good music historian too

[@acpg]

I do my best...mostly Wikipedia though!

[@ST-xg3gy]

Had no idea Peter Buck played on this.

[@allancarey3273]

My favourite band and album! Check out the book on the band, "Trouble Boys" by Bob Mehr if anyone is interested

[@brianwood7237]

This is really cool. Of course we all know that Peter Buck played the mandolin part

[@rkeil3145]

I remember walking into a record store asking for "Let it be" and explaining that I didn't want the one by the Beatles.

[@Dana-yw5yw]

Saw this in my sub box and started practicing again. Thank you!! Would love to see Alex Chilton, Bastards of Young, and Left of the Dial. Or more Replacements in general! I’ll take what I can get :)

[@Tusitala1967]

Great choice, Adrian! Would love to see Answering Machine and A Little Mascara. :-)

[@acpg]

Good choices - may well do more later this year!

[@johnb5482]

Yes...Answering Machine.

[@daviddavidon9203]

@@johnb5482 answering machine is fairly simple, you just need to become more familiar with open a tuning, but you should do that anyway when learning the mats back catalogue ;)

[@stevemackenzie100]

+1 for Answering Machine - really difficult to find a decent tab for this, especially the intro - none seem to nail this. Also, one of my fave guitar tones.

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Calling that the wonderwall chord really brought home my age, that has always been the that's entertainment chord to me and my mates.😂

[@GildedEntries]

I recall either the back cover or the inner sleeve of the LP (yep, no CD at the time) having the instrumentation and vocals on songs listed. I think it said Paul was playing a 12 string electric (with their typical humor they put the harmony vocals on Black Diamond in question marks). Thank you, another excellent and much appreciated video!

[@nowavecharles]

Will we ever get a tutorial for Tommy Keene's "Places That Are Gone?" That would be very cool. Love it!

[@dougtull4594]

I miss my friend. Tommy was a very good man.

[@hrldoliente1]

How about ‘The Cure’s’ ‘Jumping Someone Else’s Train’? Would love to see a real breakdown of the guitar parts. Thanks for all your work here.

[@lamper2]

I like that he chooses songs not based on his favorite or yours( or mine) but by how much it might improve you as a player! At 6:18 I heard the Whistle while you work melody

[@semprini77]

I am quite certain he’s choosing based on my personal favorites, somehow. How does he know???

[@mmccartney6579]

At 6:18, I heard Whistle While You work as well ! :)

[@acpg]

thanks Lee, yes mostly choices are about what will make for an interesting video, but I'd never look at a song or artist I wasn't really into. And you're right, the melody to this is a kind of reharmonisation of Whistle While You Work, maybe that's why it's so catchy..!

[@ST-xg3gy]

Love the selection! Great band. Maybe another Big Star down the road. Who knows?

[@alyssasampson4433]

Thank you for this. I’d love to see you do some Hüsker Dü sometime, maybe Celebrated Summer. Or as someone else mentioned, something by Wipers.

[@toddnuckolls8921]

For quite a few people "Let it be" was the soundtrack throughout the last half of the eighties.

[@badfinger524]

You are probably bombarded with requests. However, Nowhere is my Home has a lot of interesting guitar work in it. It is not a well-known Replacements tune, but it is a good one and I can’t quite figure out how it never made it to an album.

[@maqsimillion]

Love it . Much respect from Pakistan. Great job dissecting one of their best. More Mats tracks please. Answering Machine please? Or even Bastards of Young?

[@lordjamon]

Adrian, I really really love “swinging party” if you ever want to do more replacements. Cheers mate

[@johnb5482]

I am thoroughly chuffed that you are doing Replacements songs. They are part of my high school soundtrack along with The Clash, The Who, and X.

[@descendingforth]

Amazing tutorial of an outstanding track!

[@maqsimillion]

Plus love the details. Methinks if you got the band down they wouldn't be able to do it themselves :)

[@vicsicious1094]

Please senpai, teach us how to play "all I want" from the cure from the kiss me kiss me kiss me album. Thank you!!!

[@TheDrNGin]

Can you do a lesson on their song "Hold My Life?"

[@jer8525]

What’s that 12 string 😯

[@epichalocat2887]

Pls pls pls do more Mats. Maybe give answering machine a go!!

[@beppepalladini1222]

I would like to see a video lesson of some husker du songs. Thanks

[@ourkid2000]

When I read Trouble Boys, I just assumed Bob did nothing on that album. He was far too big of a mess. He may have, I dunno. I'd be surprised though.

[@georgetclews9636]

Could you do a lesson on Heaven sent - Josef k

[@pkramerable]

They were SO drunk when I saw them in 1985, at The Jockey Club in Newport Kentucky. They weren't all that popular. There were only about ten or fifteen people in the audience. Good show, but man! I mean, they puked right on the stage after playing the first song. Yeesh!

[@acpg]

haha amazing story!

[@LuigiForte]

As soon as I've got the notification I've smashed that "play" button!

[@scottsmith3679]

YES!!! Thank you, Adrian.

[@lMarcosCobain]

More Replacements lessons please!

[@nikosnikas1038]

Wipers please!

[@subpoppy1]

there was a period in my life many many years ago when i was in a band that really tried hard to be the second coming of the good ole mats. still very much in awe of Westerberg's song writing prowess. great great tune from my youth. love it so much and you did it so much justice. great lesson and great playing🤙🎸

[@DiegoPerez-tu7hu]

Been waiting for this! Great lesson, Adrian. Jeff Buckley maybe? ;)

[@MrPatarach]

More Replacements, more Minutemen, and let's add some Husker Du and Wipers, what do you say Andy? Great stuff.

[@rickkoehler3796]

I spent ages working out Unsatisfied. Can I have a little help?

[@eugene6472]

I live in MN USA. I feel like nobody has my taste in music here. I have to follow this UK fellow to get stuff I like.

[@kittyhinkle3739]

Ditto.

[@cskueny]

Ha! I grew up near you in Iowa, a long long time ago. No one in our little farm town shared my tastes either.

[@indieroc4life]

Some cool somewhat obscure guitar work but very cool and interesting nonetheless

[@lynch64]

in the opening verse you say the chords are G, A7 and Em11 and chorus is Em, C, D, C and then B7, corrected on screen as A7. Are you playing the A7 in the chorus the same way you play it in the verse, with your pinky and barring the DGB strings? thanks

[@ThomasPowellNZ]

The part I struggled with most was the verse rhythm. Simple in theory, but the tempo combined with the Emadd4 or whatever it is I'm still working on.

[@vincescotti]

What gear are you using? It sounds great when you kick in the distortion when playing the chorus rhythm part

[@davidonion4150]

Any reason why you didn't use your Rickenbacker for the Buck solo?

[@davidtregear3603]

This is a v extensive great lesson of a great bands song. Need a tea break:) LetItBe was a move fwd but there’s some gems in the earlier stuff. Requesting a Kids Dont Follow tute pls. Keep up the great taste mate👍

[@liquidcheese9423]

Today I went to the cinema to see guardians of the galaxy volume 3 and I was fascinated with this beautiful song

[@chrisst8922]

I don't know of anybody on the net much that's doing power pop with the possible exception of some of The Beatles people Don't think most of 'em know what it is.

[@jonheal1523]

Yay! Finally! Thanks Adrian. PS. My handy emergency mandolin is a 12 string or chorused 6 string acoustic capped at the 7th fret and picked hard near the bridge. (Is that a new 12 string in the rack behind you?)

[@acpg]

Cheers Jon. Great emergency mandolin tip - I shall have to give that a try! The 12 string is indeed new, all will be revealed in an upcoming video!

[@bigduke6702]

You have an incredible ear for notes and phrasing.

[@ragnadrabinowitz7629]

wow!!! I love this song. thank you!

[@rayhairston7582]

My favorite band!

[@jaybo420]

Just great or should I say top notch.

[@DesignBuildLift]

My all-time favorite band! Great job!

[@WinstonGuitar]

Great Great Tutorial ;)

[@darkspace137]

I think Westerberg tunes the high E down to a D.

[@marcianostanco7736]

Must learn multiple guitar part

[@epichalocat2887]

Can you do Color Me Impressed?

[@reward813]

Please do Sixteen Blue!

[@jonnywilco]

please more replacements

[@eiremike1]

Excellent video - easy to follow, good pace while explaining (slow down then back to normal speed). Thank you for posting

[@jonnywilco]

great job thanks

[@jarvikseven]

Please do Answering Machine! I'd also love for you to teach me some Hüsker Dü (or Bob Mould , for that matter).

[@antonchigurh3226]

Fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! If your time permits and inclination exists to highlight either “IOU,” “Alex Chilton,” or “These Are the Days” (the latter from solo Paul Westerberg), that would be great. Cheers from the 212 !

[@alexZZGuitar6447]

Hi Adrian would love to see a video on 'lloyd cole and the commotions '' 80s stuff eg 'Perfect Skin' those kind of tunes :) best wishes, alex:)

[@alansamsmusic]

Wow you really nailed the sound. Great video, thank you

[@CC-qb9sm]

Great choice Adrian and off of my favorite Replacements album!!

[@furrysharker]

I could never figure out that elusive Em11 chord in the verse rhythm, so thank you! Interesting that Bob tuned down his top E for the chorus lead - Peter Buck used that tuning as well for some of the early REM tunes (like 'Gardening at Night').

[@kamberbangers8627]

Awesome taught me something awesome but I stumbled upon a song by Richard Hell - who says? I really want to play that song super bad

[@davidonion4150]

Thank you!

[@davidonion4150]

Thank you!

[@juliehaydu5036]

Thank you so much for this one. Look forward to learning. It is one of my favorite Replacement songs all because of this guitar work.

[@Laxwisguy]

On the Stinson low solo/riff I thought I heard him hammering onto the first note too from the low E? Maybe I’m making it up in my head. This is great and I will follow.

[@duckbrew]

Dude you are THE best teacher on the web. I've wanted to get that solo down for yrs. Thanks

[@whiteymanngogh4489]

Story I got was stinson was pissed because buck went in with westerberg and did the mandolin?

[@GNARKILLJAX]

I love the replacements and I also love the other twin cities counterpart Husker Du. Would love to see some husker du guitar lessons :)

[@benjaminmiller5426]

Perfect start to the weekend! Thanks so much and, as everyone else has said, more Replacements! Would love to see your take on Answering Machine or Sixteen Blue.

[@secoff1]

This bloke is top shelf.Watched many of his vids.

[@trickfall8752]

I wish you were around when I was fourteen in 1984 and wanted to learn cool songs, but no one was teaching anything I liked. It was all blues rock and metal back then.

[@ourkid2000]

I think Alex Chilton would be a good one to cover as well. It's interesting because it's in open A, I believe.

[@strokemcfolks8040]

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

[@subpowersun9511]

Funny !!! I played this song live 10 years ago. We really share the same taste in music !

[@NoCoverCharge]

Hell yeah !

[@simdoyle]

One of the reasons this channel continues to delight is the introduction of great but obscure (to me at least) indie jangle-fests. Thanks Adrian!

[@irishgirl81498]

Thank you! This is a great tutorial for one of my fav bands.

[@matthewpollard2843]

I need that guitar. Looks great, sounds great.

[@robertoestebanmoreno6996]

♥️♥️♥️

[@deanarnold6284]

Again, raiding my collection....

[@whitestormy2021]

Great stuff. You're making solid progress at covering the entire tracklist of the "Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the 80s Underground" compilation set ;)

[@acpg]

haha, I have the compilation! Not listened to it in quite some time, but maybe I am subliminally working my way through it...

[@nostro1001]

Still have the original viny!! 😎

[@simonwebster1148]

Yes yes please do more replacements 😍😍😍

[@whiteycroon]

Thanks for another fantastic lesson-

[@tigertuft]

top draw as always Adrian, Thanks

[@lordjamon]

Adrian thank you so much for this
